I am over halfway in my quest to get an Associates Degree and I can see where the use of taxonomy would have helped me better understand the materials I was studying. There was a particular course where I submitted essays and papers and all I got back from the teacher was a grade. There was no feedback. I was unsure of the assignment and felt I needed more information. I contacted the instructor and asked for more information and all I got back was the same instruction that was on the course page. He did not communicate what his standards were going to be for the assignment. I did the best that I could with what I learned but felt it was not a quality paper. He, however, just gave me an "A" for the paper. This teacher could have did a better job in his explanation of his standards. I was not the only one in the class that felt this way. I do not think he used any of the taxonomies to develop his assessment of his students.
